A PICNIC.
How a select Party spent xes-
terday PIeasa

Now that the winter is over and
spring has ushered itself upon us in all
its beauty, picnics and excursions will
be quite frequent Yesterday very
sociable party of about thirty people
took their teams and went on private
p:cuic to Devils Gate canon, most
romantic and beautiful spot, located
about five miles northwest of Pasadena,
and near the base of the Sierra Madre
mountains. The day was one long to
be remembered by those present.
Every one had most enjoyable time,
and the little children in the party were
as happy as could be running through
the brooks and wales barefooted and fol.
lowed by the anxious parent. The
usual picnic pleasures were indulged iu,
but that which seemed to be the great
est pleasure was the lunch, which Jerry
Hitch pronounced the finest that he had
ever seen set before hungry crowd.
There was large variety of choice
home-cooked viands. Every one
seemed to be fortunate in bringing some-
thing different, and the collation. was one
which for variety, quality and quantity
could not be found in the castle OF a
monarch. The scene at the impromptu
dining table was one that beegars de-
scriptiou and can be better imagined
than described. Speeches and pleasant
remarks were made and responded to,
some humorously and some with feeling
fitting to the occasion. After lunch the
crowd broke up into parties of from two
TO ten, some enjoyed gentle siesta on
the mountain side, where fresh zephyrs
ladened with delicious fragrance from
the wild flowers, famed them into the
arms of Morpheus. Others picked wild
flowers and took positions to view the
country with their field glasses. Every
one found some Amusement and recrea-
tion. The party returned to the city
last evening well pleased with the man.

Row ON n Train.

There was another unsavory occur
renee on the train returning from Santa
Monica yesterday afternoon. Several
disreputable women and their more dis
reputable companions, in one OF the
cars, INDUCED in hooting, yelling and
singing in a manner that would have
put an Apache to the blush. Several
rows arose and some of the hoodlums
attempted to fight. Thanks to Sheriff
Ksys and General Hewitt. however, the
Sunday excursion trains to Santa Mon.

trip, Eand officers Darcy, Seekatz, Del

peace Of the other passengers, and put
them under arrest. The ocean breeze
at Santa Monica has an exhilerating
effect on some people. but all such have
to curb their exuberance when such
officers as those mentioned above are
present.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: There seems
10 be a growing disposition to speak of the
Southern soldiers rs Confcdoratcs, and it is
argued that we should drop the word rebel and
use the less Objectionable one-ConfedeTate
The South sought to break up this Govern
ment and establish q Confederacy. and gain a
name and place among nations as such. They
failed; we did not recognize them nor the
name then. Why should we now? They are
in the Union to-day because they could not get
out OF It, and would gladly undo what we ac-
complished il they could. Listen TO the At
lanta Capital, where it speaks of JEFF Davis as
" the only President the South ever had The
grand old warrior. and one of the grandest men
the sun ever shone upon"
Drop their name nOw2 No; never. Let
them be handed down 10 future generations
under their true name-rebels. At the rate
things are now going, by the time one or two
more generations pass away We shall be known.
20 very many at least, as the rebels, and the
real rebels as patriots who sought TO establish
the best Government the sun ever shone upon.
IL is not necessary or desirable 10 stir up OF
strive 10 perpetuate the sectional animosities
engendered by the war. Drop all of il possi-
bic and treat with spirit of charity and fra
ternity all who are now or may become Loyalty
inclined, but do not let tse coming generations
forget that treason is treason. and that rebelli.
